Rissbern II

We've been coming up here for years and each time we leave loving it a bit more. Rangeley is the perfect getaway! With beautiful hiking trails and stunning lake views, you can't go wrong. Until next year...

Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals response: We can't wait to see you again next year! Your favorite getaway will be waiting :)

Incomparable setting, comfortable, well appointed cabin, well-tended grounds. And 6 sunny days! One night of rain, thunder, but that was welcome drama.


Morton and Furbish Vacation Rentals response: We are so happy you had such amazing weather and such a beautiful stay! We hope to see you again next year :)

Perfect setting, large property with private beach and dock, beautiful views, comfortable, well-appointed cabin. Work done to improve entry to lake helpful (but still challenging for older vacationers). We were there during a stretch of great weather, not always the case. Thank you Rissbern and Rangeley! See you next year!

It was a rainy week, but cozy cabin with wood-burning stove brightened things. Coffee down on the dock at sunrise, salute to the sun at sunset, brilliant stars on a clear night. Nothing to match Rangeley. And office staff always helpful -- from supplying blankets and a hair dryer on a moment's notice to setting cabin up to make it accessible for me.

We enjoyed the privacy of the lot, the dock and the gradual grade into the water for swimming.

What we liked most about this cottage was the large lot, isolated privacy and it was pet friendly. We brought our canoe and the low grade into the water made it easy to launch. The screened in porch was great although it needs a little repair. This cottage is rustic but was fine for just my husband, myself and our golden retriever. I do suggest bringing a fan if you are staying during a major heat wave as we did.

Even though the weather was cold and rainy we enjoyed the wood stove and staying warm & cozy! The lupine festival was fun.

It was wonderful - thank you!

This is our second year renting this camp. Enjoyed the updates. New foundation so camp sits higher. Love the screened in porch where we ate dinner. New updated drive around driveway. Plenty of space to park boat trailer after launching at town park. Great pizza at Furbush Brew House! The vintage wooden dock is very sturdy and great during windy days. Lots of loons at night. Six swam by the dock out last day and there was a double rainbow that morning! Don't miss the eagles nest on the island! And Cascade Gorge is a close hike. Thank you for letting us bring our dog! He loved the dock also!

This was our 8th year renting Rissbern II. The privacy, location and water area cannot be beat. The camp has everything you could need and is very comfortable. Thank you to the owner for allowing us to rent this wonderful camp!

Even the tornado and loss of power for 24 hours couldn't mar this week. Every day had a good chunk of time when it was sunny and the lake was calm and swimmable. Beautiful misty sunrises and brilliant sunsets from dock. Until next year!

Love the privacy of the camp and the nice wide dock! Would definitely rent this camp again! Dog swam for the first time!!

The charcoal barbecue is flimsy and tough to use -- how great to have a gas grill, even the least expensive one, available instead!

Very nice updates since last year -- new, comfy seating in the living room, a new stove, new dishware and utensils. The grounds were beautifully groomed. A perfect setting for a wonderful week in the mountains.

Rissbern II has become a family tradition that we look forward to every year. It is our 7th year and we find the location one of the best spots on Rangeley Lake. What we love about the location: 1) Privacy - I love the fact you don't have another camp on top of you. 2) The Dock - Hands down the best feature of the location. The size and the ability to safely swim off of it makes it a great feature. 3) Great Sunsets - West Facing and the Dock go hand in hand 4) Far away from the road - you may hear an occasional logging truck but nothing else. What are negatives: 1) The living room furniture - musty smelling - may need to be cleaned or replaced 2) Larger Refrigerator (hard to stay a week and pack all the food into it). 3) Back Porch flood light - may help with getting down to the dock at night. We love this place and the items that they have replaced or updated over the past couple of years have made it even better. Thank you.

We love this rental and have been there about 12 years. Only reason 4 and not 5 stars is fact LR furniture is getting a little shabby (and even "icky"). Some sturdy fitted slipcovers on sofas would be good and not ruinously expensive; new springs on rocker in lr would be nice -- totally unusuable now due to sharp springs in seat that POKE.

Great location, amazing dock, cozy little camp.

We rented this cabin for the 2nd time this year. For us, no cabin could offer more in quiet, privacy, and access to the lake for paddling and lounging. The dock is wide and solid and gets plenty of sun. You can launch your canoe or kayak from the tiny beach at the side of the dock. We were charmed by the sound of loons, and by the small fishes that hide under the dock. We also enjoyed the campy-woodsy decor, the screened porch, and the spacious cabin. We will rent again some day, hopefully in full Summer. Thank you very much!

This is a wonderful camp. My family had an amazing vacation. It has everything you could want in a vacation camp at Rangeley.
